5 on All the News from DC's NYCC Gotham City PanelDC's Gotham City panel began at 10.45am: the latest update for fans about what's going on in the world of Batman. People began their Sunday morning a little drowsy, but that energy quickly resurfaced once the panel truly began. Ben Abernathy, an executive editor at DC, introduced the panelists: Frank Tieri, Meghan Fitzmartin, Ram V,…
Say what you will about Urban Legends, but I'm always at the very least excited to crack it open and see what we have. An anthology series like this can be a big risk, and as I've said many times before, isn't always worth your money, but when it gets good it gets GOOD. Urban Legends #19…
To be honest, I've kind of been struggling to figure out how to properly introduce this thing. Lee Bermejo is one of my favorite Batman artists, and certainly one of the most prolific ever to touch the character. As such, a book that serves as a showcase for his work is a surefire hit. Every…
After only 17 issues Joshua Williamson’s Robin comes to an end this month. And I have some thoughts on the ending, so let’s get right in. To start with, this does not feel like the end of a series. None of the last couple issues leading up to it have had that feeling, and honestly…
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: one of the greatest assets that McFarlane Toys has with their DC Multiverse figures is the variety of characters and properties they represent. More than that, they pull from all sorts of entertainment mediums, from comics to video games to movies and television shows. It seems…
I'd like to begin this review by asking who enjoys this book, and why. It's not like I think Dark Crisis could not possibly have fans. In fact, I envy those who are fans of this book - I'd love to find joy in this event, to be invested in the characters to the point where…
SVOT is a heavily used business term. It is an acronym for the phrase, “Single Version Of The Truth.” It means that everyone in the organization has the same information, and should essentially be on the same page. In DC Vs. Vampires, I’m not seeing the synergy. When we last left off, Jayna had just…
You know, it's funny. I've spent so much time discussing Dark Crisis in my reviews leading up to it... that by the time the event has actually arrived, I feel like I have nothing more to say. I think the book's content - or lack thereof - speaks for itself. Dark Crisis #1 sets the stage…
Shadow War is well on its way to wrapping up, and Robin is a major factor in that. This issue continues the event directly after Deathstroke Inc #9 and if you haven’t read that yet, go check it out then come back here. I wish I could say this book feels like more of a…
You know who I’ve never liked? Damian Wayne. Go ahead, shoot me. He’s a punk kid who thinks he’s better than everyone else, and is often times drawn with an infuriating smirk. He also happens to be the main character in this one-shot. However, as much as I dislike Damian, this comic is surprisingly a decent read.…
After reuniting with Talia in the last issue Robin dives straight into Shadow War this month. Damian continues his search for Deathstroke, answers as to why Ra’s was killed, and learns more than he expected to. I’ll be honest, I found this issue a little hard to review since it’s less an issue of Robin…
As much as I love Batman, I also love the entire DC Universe, and would consider myself a DC fan first and foremost. I'm just as likely to get excited about a Jimmy Olsen comic or something featuring Jack Kirby's Fourth World characters as I am something featuring Batman and his extended cast of characters,…
With the Lazarus Tournament over, and Mother Soul outmatched there isn't much left to do but wrap up the loose threads hanging around Robin and the rest of the tournament fighters. And what better way to do that than with a family reunion and party? Robin is one of those books that I love to…
DC Comics have announced that Batman, Inc. will return, which is cool. I'm all about Batman, Inc. However, rather than Batman or one of his long-established allies heading up the team, Ghost-Maker will be their leader. Ghost-Maker, who was introduced not two years ago, is the trusted head of Batman, Inc., as personally chosen by…
Hey, remember when this was gonna be a book about the Robins getting together, sitting down, and talking about whether or not being Robin was good for them? Haha, yeah. Me too. Anyways, I don't really have anything to say about this other than I am disappointed I will give Tim Seeley credit in…
Robins #3 is another book in a thankfully short series that dives farther and farther into exactly where I don't want it to go. I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall at this point, but can we please stop having every Batman book involve a secret plot that no one has ever…
Robins #2 is here, and boy howdy is it a book! Full of some of the art, dialogue, and storytelling I’ve ever seen, this book is, definitely! Throwing Down the Gauntlet I think the thing that’s bothering me so much about this book (aside from my previously stated gripes with the Round Robin tournament) is…
Reading a trade is often a different experience than picking up monthly issues. Messy cliffhangers are resolved immediately, themes are often easier to follow, and pacing issues can be largely invisible when you have six issues of content to burn through in one sitting. I had my problems with Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s Nightwing…
Hey everyone! ICE to see you! The holidays are here, and who better to spread some holiday cheer than everyone's favorite Batman News Authors, Cam and Matina (with a little guest appearance from Jay, of course)? Well, don't tell Nick we said anything, but no one! That's why we've teamed up to skate through what's personally…
As soon as I heard this book's pitch during DC's Round Robin contest, I felt sick. Not because I don't like the idea, the Robins are my absolute favorite part of the Batman mythos, and a book of them just hanging out sounds absolutely wonderful, but because of where it was positioned in the bracket.…
